Question

write a paragraph describing Asia continent in about 150 to 200 words​

Answer 1

Answer:

Asia is the largest among the world’s continents, covering approximately 30 per cent of the Earth’s land area. It is also the world’s most populous continent, with roughly 60 per cent of the total population. Asia’s physical geography, environment, resources, and human geography can be considered separately.

Asia makes up the eastern portion of the Eurasian supercontinent; Europe occupies the western portion. The border between the two continents is debated. However, most geographers define Asia’s western border as an indirect line that follows the Ural Mountains, the Caucasus Mountains, the Caspian and the Black Seas. Asia is bordered by the Arctic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.

The West Siberian Plain, located in central Russia, is considered one of the world’s largest areas continuous flatland. It extends from north to south about 2,400 kilometers (1,500 miles) and from west to east about 1,900 kilometers (1,200 miles). With more than 50 per cent of its area at less than 100 meters (330 feet) above sea level, the plain contains some of the world’s largest swamps and flood plains.

Central Asia is dominated by a steppe landscape, a large area of flat, unforested grassland. Mongolia can be divided into different steppe zones: the mountain forest steppe, the arid steppe, and the desert steppe. These zones transition from the country’s mountainous region in the north to the Gobi Desert on the southern border with China.

The Rub’ al Khali desert, is considered as the world’s largest sand sea, which covers an area larger than France across Saudi Arabia, Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen. It holds roughly half as much sand as Africa’s Sahara desert, even though it is 15 times smaller in size. The desert is known as the Empty Quarter because it is virtually inhospitable to humans except for Bedouin tribes which live on its edges.
